2026 AWP Conference & Bookfair
Wed 4 Mar 2026 to Sat 7 Mar 2026
The AWP (Association of Writers & Writers Programs) Conference & Bookfair is the essential gathering for writers, teachers, students, editors, and publishers. Join thousands of attendees, explore hundreds of events and exhibitors, and immerse in four days of vital literary community and celebration in Baltimore!

#AWP26 takes place in Baltimore, Maryland from March 4-7, 2026.

The #AWP26 schedule features over 315 accepted events—including panel discussions, readings, and conversations covering fiction, nonfiction, poetry, community engagement, and more.

Events aren’t the only draw at #AWP26. An annual showcase of hundreds of exhibitors, the AWP Bookfair is the nation’s largest marketplace for independent literary presses and journals, creative writing programmes, writing conferences and centres, and literary arts organizations.

If you can’t make it in person, our AWP Anywhere Pass will give you access to live streamed events and over twenty hours of on-demand video content.
